HITCHED ttP FOUR LIONS
What a Swig of Georgia Corn Made
a Te?mi8lfr in Africa Do
Here's#<thc beat construction atory
wo'vo hrjml 4M a good long tiim- It
that many year* ago, when
I (he British were* building the rail
road acroa* thfc veWt In Rhodeaia,
Kritish East Africa, they were great
ly handicapped by man-eating Lions.
Stnoil) surveying parties and right
of-way gangs were attacked almost
nightly, and some ono filled.
liosides this, it was almtxst impos
sible to keep mules and donkeys in
the paddocks, because of the depre
ssions of the marauders.
Hut it was particularly difficult to
get supplies from the rail head to the
construction gangs. T*heae supplies
were hauled in large covered wagons
which were pulled by eight?ten??
and even t welve mules. If night over
look one of these outfits the lions
were sure .to attack at.
In ono of the canjps \Vas a mule
I river?a big, rawbone boy from |
South Georgia, toho had been atr^nd;
wl in one of the Rhodesian ports and
had .-joined up with the construction
a
outfit.
One afternoon the camp' foreman
urged him to try to get through to
the camp, twenty miles away, with
load of supplies before night. Aft^T
much coaxing he agreed to do so. k
' About five miles from camp, how
ever, his -wagon broke down, and be
fore he could finish repairing it night
tame on. He realized there was no
use to try to make canvp, as there
was no road and the night >vas dark.
So he tied out his twelve mules and
then, climbed a tree to spend the
night. Finding a comfortable forks,
he went to sleep.
About twelve o'clock he .was awak
ened by. a wild commotion among the
mules. The lions had attacked them.
The mule skinner, knew there was
nothing to do, so he .leaned back
against his limb to go to sleep Again.
Then he remembered a bottle of
Georgia corn he had in his hip pock
i't. He took one swig and then an
other and then emptied her.
When that corn hit home the mule
a-inncr started to get mad. No lions
'TTnld attack his mules, no sir! Wasn't
nothing to do but hitch up and leav'3
there. It was diark as pitch ahd he
had a hard time getting started, but
finally he got under way. Next motfn-.
uj<, when daylight came, he found he
had eight mules and four lions hiteh
